Um, if you click the little UK flag at the bottom left, you get instructions in English. And apparently I’m almost as smart as a poodle. 😃 ---

Some of those other games are fun too. Except for Interville - I can’t get anything to happen no matter where I click or which buttons I press. Who are those people in the pictures that keep popping up at random? ---
